Birmingham City fell to a 3-0 defeat to Peterborough on Saturday in what was an uncharacteristic display from the Blues.
In what was seen as a bit of a surprise result, Posh raced into an instant lead through a Harlee Dean own goal in the first minute before the hosts doubled the advantage before half-time through Jonson Clarke-Harris.
The result was sealed on 50 minutes through Jorge Grant, and the Blues' mood was worsened thanks to a red card for Gary Gardner.
After starting the season strongly, Lee Bowyer's side have fallen to two back-to-back defeats and conceding seven goals in the last two games.
Bowyer has admitted his side was 'fatigued' in the defeat at the Weston Homes Stadium, and Peterborough deserved all three points.
Bowyer was honest in his post-match press conference, thanking the fans for their efforts throughout the game and blamed tiredness for the defeat.
"I have to thank our fans for non-stop singing and for staying until the end and I’ll apologise to the fans for that performance. It was nowhere near good enough," Bowyer said, via Peterborough Today.
“The players are physically and mentally tired. But second half I thought we came out and caused them problems. Nothing went our way all day though."

Birmingham City did create plenty of chances throughout the game, with Bowyer bemoaning their luck at key times in the game.
"We couldn’t score in the first half," Bowyer continued.
"We could’ve made it 1-1, but then seconds later they win a penalty to make it 2-0.
